Rating #2,100 (by far the oddest milestone video I have seen). 5 oz sampler at the brew pub (#2) in Columbus, Ohio. Pour is hazed orange copper with a smallish light tan head. Aroma has some faint fruit sweetness up front, followed quickly by toasted malt, and a hint of Crystal malt in there as well. Taste is the bright sweetness up front, then a nice toasted maltiness finishing with a very slight roastiness. Palate is medium bodied, lower carbonation level and a dry mineral finish. This beer worked well with the barbeque. Clean and fresh, nice one.

5 oz sampler at the brew pub (#2) in Columbus, Ohio. Pour is slight haze golden with a smallish white head. Aroma is light caramel sweetness, along with just a whisper of earthiness and some iced tea. The taste is mostly the sweetness up front, caramel toffee, followed behind with the mineral cracker malt of the nose. A bit sweet, but clean and fresh tasting. Palate is medium to light bodied, lower carbonation level, mineral and more of the sweetness. Nice enough.

Sample at Ale House #1. The beer is a hazy tangerine color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes to an outer ring quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet citrus and wheat. Light, clean body with flavors of citrus and tropical fruit, along with touches of sweet malt and wheat. Minimal hops in the background. The finish is fruity and short. Slightly above average overall.

On tap at The Oak Room during Ohio Brew Week. Pours a hazy dark golden with reddish hue and a little head. Taste is wheat and a nice amount of raspberry. The raspberry meshes well with the wheat and barley. Good raspberry wheat beer.

Quite passable light summer ale. Honey is evident in the aroma. Light gold with thin head. Light, refreshing wheaty flavor but a little on the sweet side.

On draught at Ale House #1. The beer pours blackish-brown with a thin light tan head that dissipates quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is roasty with notes of malt and coffee. Medium body with a roasted malt character and flavors of nuts and coffee. Mild hoppiness as well. The finish is moderately bitter coffee with a malty aftertaste.
